I’m increasingly thinking that teachers should have periodic psych exams.
Let the most stable ones have guns for school defense.
And get help for the least stable. And get them out of the classroom if they are a danger.
Interesting post. Who decides who is stable?
I’ve had firearms my entire adult life. In 2006, I underwent surgery for a large melanoma, and underwent a full year of interferon chemo-therapy. It was so brutal, that one of the higher risks for death while on interferon is suicide. So, I began a simultaneous prophylactic course of anti-depressants. I ended it when I ended my chemo.
So. I’ve got a concealed carry permit. And I’ve been on a rather large dose of anti-depressants. You gonna take my gun away from me?
Oh, by the way. I’m conservative, and voted against the current regime. If you are in the government deciding whether I’m stable or not, and you are a life-long bureaucrat......you bet your sweet ass you’re gonna decide I’m unstable.
Be careful what you wish for.
I agree. Whole lot of crazy seems to leak into that "profession".
Anyhow, what a selfish act.
There are a few million teachers in this country. Not really productive to leap to conclusions based on the actions of just one. Sexual encounters between teachers and students have always occurred, although now it seems to be mostly female teachers.
